Bolt size for ABS Sensors

Post by Mike123 » Tue Jul 27, 2021 11:27 am

Have to replace the front ABS sensors, old bolts are rusted and not going anywhere.

Can anyone tell me what size the replacements bolts are (E85, 2004, 3.0) to attach the sensors ?

Check the length of the new sensors in comparison to the ones you remove.
Someone on here had an issue with the new sensors being slightly longer and rubbing on the hub. If that is the case, a washer that corresponds to the difference in length can be used under the head of the sensor.
Only heard of it once though, so you should be fine.

Always happy to help if I can.

If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:

It's basically the tensile strength of the bolt, not particularly important for this one but it was on the parts list so I included it

Let me know where you get the sensors from please. I was getting “out of stocks” a few weeks ago.
